Sardinia Rally 2022
Lappi beaten at the wire by Tänak who beat him by 3 tenths with a time of 8'23″2. This is a 9th special victory, 10th if we take into account SS17 where he was credited with the same time as Rovanperä
Breen finished just a second behind Lappi with a time of 8'24″5. Barring a disaster during the Power Stage, the Irishman will finish in a good 2nd place for his 2nd podium of the year
No better time for Sordo in this SS20 who finished 4″7 behind Lappi with a time of 8’28″2
8'28 on the line for Loubet just 4″5 behind Lappi. “We were careful on this stage and we are now focusing on the Power Stage to finish the rally well”
Championship leader Rovanperä saves his strength for the Power Stage. He didn't really attack in this SS20 given his time of 8'41″9, slower by 18″4
Katsuta didn't seem to want to save his tires for the Power Stage as he finished 2″4 behind Lappi with a time of 8'25″9
Greensmith crosses the finish line in 8'25″1, 1″6 behind Lappi's time
Evans also went slowly even if he let less time slip than Neuville. 8'41″1 for the Welshman, 17″6 behind Lappi
As expected, Neuville did not push on this SS20, conceding 43″2 over Lappi. The Belgian keeps his tires for the Power Stage
8'23″5 for Lappi who was 8 seconds faster compared to his previous passage on this special
The action resumes in Sardinia where Lappi is already on the road for SS20
The start of SS20 is scheduled for 11:00 a.m.
